Гора Кука (Аораки) - наивысшая точка Новой Зеландии, высота которой составляет 3754 метра над уровнем моря, расположена в западной части Южного острова, в новозеландских Южных Альпах. Гора состоит из трёх пиков - самый низкий из них имеет высоту 3593 метра над уровнем моря, средний - 3717 метров и самый высокий - 3754 метра. Гора Кука сложена из кристаллических пород, имеет форму седла с крутыми склонами, а её вершина покрыта вечными снегами и ледниками. Вдоль восточного фланга горы спускается знаменитый ледник Тасмана - крупнейший ледник в Новой Зеландии, протяжённостью 29 километров и площадью 156,5 квадратных километров. Нижняя часть горных склонов покрыта уникальными дождевыми лесами умеренного климата и живописными альпийскими лугами, в которых произрастают эндемичные виды растений и редкие виды животных, встречающиеся только в Новой Зеландии.
Для маори, коренного населения Новой Зеландии, Аораки является священной горой, на языке племени Нгай Таху название горы означает "большое белое облако". Английское название Mount Cook (Гора Кука) дал горе в 1851 году капитан Джон Лорт Стокс в честь знаменитого мореплавателя Джеймса Кука. С момента открытия горы европей��ами, её вершина постоянно манит альпинистов со всего мира. Несмотря на то, что Аораки - далеко не самая высокая гора на планете, она является технически очень сложной для восхождения. Огромную опасность для альпинистов представляют резкая смена погоды, сильные снегопады, высокий уровень обледенения скал, большие трещины ледников и высокая вероятность внезапного схода лавин. Только с начала XX века при восхождении на гору Кука погибло около 80 альпинистов, что делает её самым смертоносным пиком в Новой Зеландии. Не даром в легендарной эпопее Джона Толкина "Хоббит, или Туда и обратно", "Властелин колец" и "Сильмариллион" гора Кука стала прототипом пика Карадрас - одного из высочайших пиков Мглистых гор в Средиземье. Именно под Карадрасом был построен великий город гномов Казад-Дум
В 1953 году на территории вокруг горы Кука был создан Национальный парк Маунт-Кук, в который входят 19 горных пиков высотой более 3000 метров над уровнем моря и 8 (из 12) крупнейших ледников в Новой Зеландии. Парк является частью района Те-Вахипунаму, внесенного в список Всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО за выдающуюся природную ценность. Помимо занятий альпинизмом (восхождение на вершину разрешено только опытным альпинистам в сопровождении горных проводников), посетители парка могут заняться скалолазанием, трекингом, горным велосипедом, охотой и насладиться невероятным зрелищем самого "звёздного" ночного неба на Земле. Во время прогулок по горным тропам можно увидеть попугая кеа - единственного в мире попугая, эндемика Новой Зеландии, обитающего на высоте 1500 метров над уровнем моря и выше.
Mount Cook (Aoraki) is the highest point in New Zealand, with an altitude of 3,754 meters above sea level, located in the western part of the South Island, in the New Zealand Southern Alps. The mountain consists of three peaks - the lowest of which is 3,593 meters above sea level, the middle one is 3,717 meters, and the highest is 3,754 meters. Mount Cook is composed of crystalline rocks, has the shape of a saddle with steep slopes, and its summit is covered with eternal snow and glaciers. Along the eastern flank of the mountain descends the famous Tasman Glacier - the largest glacier in New Zealand, with a length of 29 kilometers and an area of 156.5 square kilometers. The lower part of the mountain slopes is covered with unique temperate rainforests and picturesque alpine meadows, in which endemic species of plants and rare species of animals grow, found only in New Zealand.
For the Maori, the indigenous people of New Zealand, Aoraki is a sacred mountain; in the language of the Ngai Tahu tribe, the mountain's name means "large white cloud". The English name Mount Cook was given to the mountain in 1851 by Captain John Lort Stokes in honor of the famous navigator James Cook. Since the discovery of the mountain by Europeans, its summit has constantly attracted climbers from all over the world. Despite the fact that Aoraki is far from the highest mountain on the planet, it is technically very difficult to climb. Extreme weather changes, heavy snowfalls, high levels of icing on the rocks, large glacier cracks and a high probability of sudden avalanches pose a huge danger to climbers. Since the beginning of the 20th century alone, about 80 climbers have died while climbing Mount Cook, making it the deadliest peak in New Zealand. It is not for nothing that in the legendary epics of John Tolkien "The Hobbit, or There and Back Again", "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Silmarillion" Mount Cook became the prototype of the peak of Caradhras - one of the highest peaks of the Misty Mountains in Middle-earth. It was under Caradhras that the great city of the dwarves Khazad-dum was built.
In 1953, Mount Cook National Park was created on the territory around Mount Cook, which includes 19 mountain peaks over 3,000 meters above sea level and 8 (out of 12) of the largest glaciers in New Zealand. The park is part of the Te Wahipounamu area, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its outstanding natural value. In addition to mountaineering (climbing to the summit is only permitted for experienced climbers accompanied by mountain guides), visitors to the park can go rock climbing, trekking, mountain biking, hunting and enjoy the incredible spectacle of the most "starry" night sky on Earth. While walking along the mountain trails, you can see the kea parrot - the only parrot in the world, endemic to New Zealand, living at an altitude of 1,500 meters above sea level and higher.

Pokemon Challenge 2024! #1111 Snocap.
Snocap is the evolved form of Maunga, and is a Ground/Ice type. Snocap is actually based on Mount Cook, New Zealand's tallest mountain. I really like how it turned out but looking at it next to Maunga I think they are too stylistically different.
Find the rest of the Te'Roa set in my master post!

Icebergs & Mountain Views: Tasman Glacial Lake Excursion
The Solo Scale: Once you’re on the boat, you may be separated anyway (due to weight balancing) and the noise gets pretty loud once you’re zipping around. Being solo is no problem! If you’re staying in Aoraki (also known as Mount Cook) for the night, there’s any number of excursions and activities. One of them you might not expect is to get to see icebergs in the middle of the country, but…
